The AFC remains very tight, as the leaders in each division are pretty clear (except for the disastrous AFC South), but the wild card spots remain wide open. The Steelers are the only Wild Card team in the AFC that has an above-.500 record, meaning there are six teams with 5-5 and 4-6 records left to duke it out.

The NFC, meanwhile, is pretty top-heavy, but there are races for the division lead, particularly between the Packers and Vikings, who were taken down by Green Bay in Week 11. And when it comes to the Wild Card spots, the Falcons still have the lead, but the Bucs and Seahawks are beating down their door.
